Reviewed by maike.readzDas war leider garnicht meins und es tut schon weh dieses Buch so zu bewerten. Ich hätte es wirklich so gerne geliebt! 😮💨 Der Anfang hat mir noch ganz gut gefallen und ich bin gut in die Geschichte gekommen. Auch das Thema rund um die Krankheit der Protagonistin hat mich sehr neugierig gemacht. Allerdings konnte ich im weiteren Verlauf das Handeln der Protagonistin immer weniger verstehen und nachvollziehen. Der Twist hat das Ruder noch einmal ein Stück herumgerissen und es kam noch einmal Spannung auf. Doch das Ende konnte mich auch nicht mehr so richtig überzeugen. Schade 🙊
Reviewed by Matcha Marie 🍵Ich hab das Buch wirklich gerne gelesen und dank des Nachworts wird auch klar warum die Protagonistin so nahbar war und man auch ohne KiWu ihre Zerrissenheit spüren konnte, allerdings hat mir der Umgang der besten Freundin mit den Problemen der Protagonistin überhaupt nicht gefallen, ich empfand es als äußerst übergriffig und das wurde überhaupt nicht beleuchtet. Auch das Ende lässt sich durch das Nachwort erklären und gerade bei einem Debütroman wünscht man sich natürlich so ein Ende als Schreibende, aber ein Ende das näher an der lebensrealität der Mehrheit ist, wäre meinem Empfinden nach besser gewesen.
Reviewed by JulesBy far not her best book. If we ignore the weird parts of the romance and focus on the friendship in this one. All in all it still did something with me.
Reviewed by Annakova Abbys Schreibstil ist wie immer ne 5/5 aber die Protagonistin hat mich so aufgeregt teilweise. Ich will nix Spoilern aber finde man sollte schon seinem aktuellen Partner gegenüber genug Respekt haben um gewisse Dinge nicht zu tun.
